We discuss self-care as business owners and women. Self-care continues to get a bad rap of being “selfish” for women in general. Taking care of you is a necessity, otherwise, it can lead to burn out and health, sleep and relationship issues. Remember you are a role model to those you care about and you show them that it is okay and normal to have YOU time. Ladies, together we can break the myth of putting yourself last on the list is the way to go. That scarcity or fear mindset can keep you playing the martyr or victim. Be the best you by establishing self-care habits.
